Bayview Junction is a major railway junction in southern Ontario, Canada. It is located at the intersection of three of the nation's busiest rail lines and is a popular location for railfanning. Located at the western end of Lake Ontario, this wye junction draws its name from the view of Burlington Bay (Hamilton Harbour) to the east. Bayview Junction is located in the city of Hamilton, immediately adjacent to its boundary with the city of Burlington. The railway lines bisect the property of the Royal Botanical Gardens, providing a picturesque setting. ==Rail lines== Bayview Junction was determined by geography, with railway lines running along the level ground parallel to the northern shore of Lake Ontario increasingly constrained by the Niagara Escarpment as they approach the western end of the lake. There are three major railway lines operated by the Canadian National Railway (CN) which intersect at Bayview: ;CN Oakville Subdivision : The three-track Oakville Subdivision runs from Bayview east to Union Station in downtown Toronto, passing through the town of Oakville. It runs parallel to the lakeshore. ;CN Dundas Subdivision :The double-track Dundas Subdivision runs from Bayview west to London, passing through the town of Dundas, immediately west of Bayview, as it climbs up the Niagara Escarpment. ;CN Grimsby Subdivision :The double-track Grimsby Subdivision runs from Bayview south to Niagara Falls, passing through Hamilton. In addition to the CN lines intersecting at Bayview Junction, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) has a line which crosses over the CN lines on a grade-separated overpass. The CP Hamilton Subdivision, running from Hamilton to Guelph joins the CN Grimsby Subdivision immediately east of Bayview at Hamilton Junction. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bayview Junction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
